Kelce returned to training with his fellow Chiefs on July 21 following a whirlwind offseason.
The 34-year-old spent a large proportion of his vacation time with his girlfriend Taylor Swift in Europe.
With the new season rapidly approaching, it's back to business for the nine-time Pro Bowler.
Kelce's TikTok features 2.8 million followers but has been dormant since a video posted on June 18 after the Chiefs' Super Bowl LVIII party.

'A great escape'
Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid thinks Travis Kelce's relationship with Taylor Swift is "a great escape
Kelce and Swift have been constant presences at each other's events, and Reid shared that he thinks they enjoy getting out of the spotlight.
"He can handle it. I think there's a great escape for him," Reid told the Athletic.
"I said that about Taylor too. I mean, she comes to the game, she can kind of escape having to be the show.
"And when he goes to her concerts, she's the star and he can be hanging out there and be the support or the waterboy."
"St. Joe, Year 12. That means I’ve spent just about an entire year of my life up here in the dorms," Kelce told reporters on Sunday after padded practice.
"Everybody may say that is pretty grueling, but I enjoy it.
"There’s something about this place to get you ready every single year.
